Ok, maybe I was a little harsh.

I’m re-reading my vicious post about Au Bon pain and now I’m thinking I was a little harsh. I mean, what if the president of Au Bon Pain reads my blog and tomorrow morning he sees that post and kills himself? How bad would I feel?

The truth is I haven’t been in a long time. And maybe I’m remembering it wrongly; maybe I’m mushing together my memory of bad airport Au Bon Pain with semi-decent non-airport Au Bon Pain? Did I once have a semi-decent sandwich there? It’s possible right?

Oh Lord, WHAT HAVE I DONE????
